After several shopping trips to Limited Edition in London. Purchasing parts to finish the engine and parting with a fair amount of cash, my engine finally made its way back into the prepared chassis.With the short block repaired and new connector rods , piston rings and clyinder heads all added. The finishing touches (The shiney stuff) were purchased and added as they each arrived by securicor post up until 24th March 1993.
My funds suddenly took a plummet along with a serious relationship (Well not so serious now) and my job. My chassis and engine slummed it in the garage, whilst i recomposed and rebuilt my self. You could say that this restoration has not only been about the beach buggy. It is quite possibly a rebuild of my life too.
Several birthdays past by with small additions being added and a wiring harness was purchased as a present from my parents and purchased from GP Beach buggies .I was not to know it but this would be the place my dreams where to be put on hold: The wiring harness turned up on the 11th january 1993.
The complicated number of seemingly hundreds of wires with nothing to connect onto became I must a admit daunting and i started to lose confidence.
Luckly my parents garage was huge and my dream could sit patiantly waiting until another day when a huge personal choice had to be made.
Would this be the end of my dream or would I recover my life suffieciently to feel comfortable enough to re store faith in my dream and bring my restoration to a climax.
